SURFACE AREAS AND VOLUMES

MAIN CONCEPTS AND RESULTS

** Surface area of a cuboid = 2 (lb + bh + hl)
**Surface area of a cube = 6a2
**Curved surface area of a cylinder = 2πrh
** Total surface area of a cylinder = 2πr(r + h)
** Curved surface area of a cone = πrl
** Total surface area of a right circular cone = πrl + πr2, i.e., πr (l + r)
** Surface area of a sphere of radius r = 4 π r2
**Curved surface area of a hemisphere = 2πr2
** Total surface area of a hemisphere = 3πr2
** Volume of a cuboid = l × b × h

QUESTIONS FROM NCERT BOOKS 

1. 2 cubes each of volume 64 cm3 are joined end to end. Find the surface area of the resulting cuboid.

2. A vessel is in the form of a hollow hemisphere mounted by a hollow cylinder. The diameter of the
hemisphere is 14 cm and the total height of the vessel is 13 cm. Find the inner surface area of the vessel.

3. A toy is in the form of a cone of radius 3.5 cm mounted on a hemisphere of same radius. The total height
of the toy is 15.5 cm. Find the total surface area of the toy.

4. A cubical block of side 7 cm is surmounted by a hemisphere. What is the greatest diameter the hemisphere
can have? Find the surface area of the solid.

5. A hemispherical depression is cut out from one face of a cubical wooden block such that the diameter l of
the hemisphere is equal to the edge of the cube. Determine the surface area of the remaining solid.

6. A medicine capsule is in the shape of a cylinder with two

 hemispheres stuck to each of its ends. The length of the entire capsule is 14 mm and the diameter of the
capsule is 5 mm. Find its surface area.

7. A tent is in the shape of a cylinder surmounted by a conical top. If the height and diameter of the
cylindrical part are 2.1 m and 4 m respectively, and the slant height of the top is 2.8 m, find the area of the
canvas used for making the tent. Also, find the cost of the canvas of the tent at the rate of ₹500 per m2.

8. From a solid cylinder whose height is 2.4 cm and diameter 1.4 cm, a conical cavity of the same height and
same diameter is hollowed out. Find the total surface area of the remaining solid to the nearest cm2.

9. A wooden article was made by scooping out a hemisphere from each end of a
solid cylinder, as shown in the figure. If the height of the cylinder is 10 cm, and
its base is of radius 3.5 cm, find the total surface area of the article.

10. A solid is in the shape of a cone standing on a hemisphere with both their radii being equal to 1 cm and
the height of the cone is equal to its radius. Find the volume of the solid in terms of π.

11. Rachel, an engineering student, was asked to make a model shaped like a cylinder with two cones
attached at its two ends by using a thin aluminium sheet. The diameter of the model is 3 cm and its length
is 12 cm. If each cone has a height of 2 cm, find the volume of air contained in the model that Rachel
made. (Assume the outer and inner dimensions of the model to be nearly the same.)

12. A gulab jamun, contains sugar syrup up to about 30% of its volume.
Find approximately how much syrup would be found in 45 gulab jamuns,
each shaped like a cylinder with two hemispherical ends with length 5 cm
and diameter 2.8 cm .

13. A pen stand made of wood is in the shape of a cuboid with four
conical depressions to hold pens. The dimensions of the cuboid
are 15 cm by 10 cm by 3.5 cm. The radius of each of the depressions
is 0.5 cm and the depth is 1.4 cm. Find the volume of
wood in the entire stand .
14. A vessel is in the form of an inverted cone. Its height is 8 cm and the radius of its top, which is
open, is 5 cm. It is filled with water up to the brim. When lead shots, each of which is a sphere of radius
0.5 cm are dropped into the vessel, one-fourth of the water flows out. Find the number of lead shots
dropped in the vessel.
15. A solid iron pole consists of a cylinder of height 220 cm and base diameter 24 cm, which is surmounted
by another cylinder of height 60 cm and radius 8 cm. Find the mass of thepole, given that 1 cm3 of iron has
approximately 8g mass. (Use π = 3.14)

16. A solid consisting of a right circular cone of height 120 cm and radius 60 cm standing on a hemisphere
of radius 60 cm is placed upright in a right circular cylinder full of water such that it touches the bottom.
Find the volume of water left in the cylinder, if the radius of the cylinder is 60 cm and its height is 180 cm.

17. A spherical glass vessel has a cylindrical neck 8 cm long, 2 cm in diameter; the diameter of the spherical
part is 8.5 cm. By measuring the amount of water it holds, a child finds itsvolume to be 345 cm3. Check
whether she is correct, taking the above as the inside measurements, and π = 3.14.
